Hot1, in answer to your question re getting better, I don't know my 4th son has been my most strong willed, stubborn and inquisitive of all 4 boys. My 3rd son especially was very very placid, easy going. Ds 4 is a whirlwind, doesn't help the he has older brothers as he copies them, gets access to things, but part of it is his personality. He ended up having a few trips to the naughty step yesterday for high pitch squealing when he didn't get his own way.
